Skechers or New Balance

Nurses Uniform/Gear

I just have a question about these two types of shoes. Do you find that you like to wear Skechers or New Balance to work.

I had a pair of New Balance 608s that I wore until they literally fell apart (2.5 years). Loved them. After that, I bought some Nike Shox (mostly cause I couldn't find my beloved NB's) and they are AWESOME!

I recently developed PF and spurs, and after seeing a podiatrist, getting the shots and obtaining orthotics, I purchased New Balance and right now, I am IN LOVE with them (as well as my podiatrist-just kidding-). I feel like I am bouncing on air, and they have solved my foot problems for the most part. I am interested in looking at others, though.

I currently have a pair of Shox but have had great success with NB in the past as well. Can't offer an opinion on Skechers. :)

Try NB 811 walking shoes..they have a roll bar suitable for pronation/supination if you have those issues, and provide stabilty and comfort even if you don't. I love mine, and I'm glad I made the investment. My instructors even comment on them!:redpinkhe
